About

I am a British / Portuguese, European educated part 2 architectural designer (filmmaker, and musician). Having graduated with First-Class Honours (and the portfolio prize) in Architecture BSc and having just completed my 5th year at the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL MArch programme. I am a highly conscientious and creative interdisciplinary architectural practitioner looking to exercise a somewhat eclectic repertoire and unflagging curiosity, and for the opportunity to continue to develop as a designer.

An Ode to apollo

‘An Ode to Apollo’ is a centre for research in acoustics and musical production, platforming both creative and scientific studies of sound. In defiance of the unrelenting roar of the neighbouring elevated-railway, the facility is a prototype in how we might occupy such acoustically-challenged pockets of the built environment. Contained within this architecture of attenuation, a series of inhabitable music chambers celebrate and amplify the weird and wonderful dynamics of sound and space.
